martinfan5 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I don't have an avatar, I just have a rather nice portrait image of myself. And yes folks, he really does look like that, prickly and all
Fat Brian Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I have four or five versions of mine created for different forum requirements, I use the same avatar on at least 95% of the forums I'm on so now I only have to browse to the correctly sized file upload it.
philo426 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Every time i paste the photo and hit import it disappears and refuses to work!Whats up with that?

I like to switch them around, and its time for to change it again, all the different forums I am on, all have different size limits, so smaller then here, some bigger. I thought about doing what you do, but I would have to resize each one differently I use a very easy to use program to resize all my pics, and it only takes a min , there are only a few steps. http://www.irfanview.com/ Edited June 15, 2012 by martinfan5

I thought about doing what you do, but I would have to resize each one differently Once I got a few variations saved I always have one that will work even if it isn't the exact max size limit. I seem to travel in the same internet circles some times so my little chubby woman has become sort of a calling card so I doubt I will be changing her any time soon.
Dave Pye Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Sheeze, you want me to break people's monitors, Harry???
sports850 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I have a gif file that I've got on photobucket that I use on other forums but it won't work here , any chance of allowing gif's Harry our is it jpeg only for some reason ?
Jordan White Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Dunno about from photo sharing sites, but it says you can upload a gif from your computer.
Monty Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I don't use an avatar on any of the forums I belong to. It's not because I can't figure out how to upload one or that I'm lazy, it's just that I've never understood the purpose of having one.
moparfarmer Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I tried to put up an avatar and it said the picture was too big, so I though not...........
sports850 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Then again maybe it isn't ... when I look at the above post it show's the avatar as a screen grab from the gif and not a moving image whereas when I look at it in my profile it's a moving image . What do others see there ?
southpier Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I'm just curious why some of you guys don't use an avatar. Not that it's a big deal. Like I said, I'm just curious. what purpose does it serve?
TooOld Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 If I figured it out , it can't be too hard ! What I really don't understand is the age thing . Are people really that afraid that I might lnow how old they are ?

Are people really that afraid that I might lnow how old they are ? I think many people don't like giving their birthday out of fear of Identity Thieves ... just another piece of the puzzle to keep private.
dustym Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 My excuses: Didnt know how. where do I get a picture from. lazy. not a big deal. Dont post a lot(lurk every day though) Now some of you got me going, so maybe Ill work on it. As far as age? I am a half century old and proud of it.
2002p51 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Hassle? It takes about 12 seconds to add one. It actually took me less than 12 seconds to add one. But it took me about a minute and a half to figure where to go to add one!
